Melissa Rivers Writes Tribute Book To Her Mother Joan
Melissa Rivers is honoring her late mother with a book about growing up with the comedy legend, Joan Rivers. “The Book of Joan: Tales of Mirth, Mischief, and Manipulation” is due out in May and Melissa’s publisher describes it as “funny, poignant, and irreverent observations, thoughts, and tales about the woman who raised her”.
Melissa Rivers told People.com, “In our family we always believed that laughter was the best medicine. I wanted to write a book that would make my mother laugh. I hope it makes you laugh, too.”
One of the stories Melissa shares in the book is her mother’s idea of doing math. “I can do tips and discounts and figure out the number of gay men in an audience to make it a good show. That’s all the math you’ll ever need.”
“The Book of Joan: Tales of Mirth, Mischief, and Manipulation” by Melissa Rivers will be available May 5th.
